I believe the 4 teams on Einstein that did not apply to IRI were invited already... Let's see if they accept!

But to see them actually play the Arch vs Curie and Newton vs Galileo, would make it all the better..

Paper airplanes were definitely present in Atlanta in 2004 and 2005.

I think they were invited just so they could have that Einstein rematch... but they'll stick around to play in quals and maybe elims.

I suspect the biggest question mark of the bunch is 4334.

Calgary's a fairly long way from Indy.

While I understand the idea, I'm not so sure about some of the things it might lead to. If Galileo loses they'll be forever known, rightly or wrongly, as "the alliance that only won at Championships because of field problems", and they deserve better than that.

The staff at the Georgia Dome was not as tolerant as the staff in St. Louis seem to be about paper airplanes. I know there were attempts at them multiple years, but Dome security quickly put an end to them.

I think some people may already (wrongly) have this impression of them.
